    Well, I would argue he was worse because of the amount of power he wielded.

    MacArthur was a competent commander that represented some ideal rather than being a selfish child whose only redeeming quality is that he read the manual written by a far better tank commander

    It's just that macarthurs ideal was imperialism and he was a goddamn racist fascist

    He was fascist?

    I know about him wanting the nuke the everloving shit out of people, but didn't know he was fascist as well.

    The central Arkansas spill caused by Exxon’s aging Pegasus pipeline has reportedly unleashed 10,000 barrels of Canadian heavy crude - but a technicality says it's not oil, letting the energy giant off the hook from paying into a national cleanup fund.

    Legally speaking, diluted bitumen like the heavy crude that's overrun Mayflower, Arkansas, is not classified as 'oil'. And it's that very distinction that exempts Exxon from contributing to the government's oil spillage cleanup fund.

    I just looked for the "post another historical fact" thread and was sad to see that it had been closed since I finally found out about the story behind this picture.

    unxplainedphoto12334480.jpg

    People in bear suits were apparently common sights in German tourist resorts of the 30s. The bear would run up to you and a photographer would take a picture which he'd afterwards try to sell to you.
    I remember seeing this image a lot back when I played Darkfall (FFA full-loot pvp MMO), with the caption "Darkfall Online: 90% Nazi 10% Carebear".

    He was a militarist and he challenged Truman's authority multiple times during the Korean War (McArthurism refers to an ideology which holds that the military knows best). He also was one of the architects of US Cold War foreign policy and believed that it was necessary for the US to go to war with China in order to stop communism's spread in Asia. After World War II, he gave immunity to members of Japan's bacteriological research units in exchange for data gained through human experimentation and he also turned a blind eye to atrocitites committed during the Korean War. That being said, his staff did a pretty good job of transforming Japan into a stable and democratic country (which did persecute communists, though).

    So it turns out one of my friends has a completely mental friend who has been drinking the DPRK koolaid, and just linked this video:

    as proof that America is the great evil that is destroying the world.

    To expand on the last point, the United States poured billions of dollars into suppressing any sort of leftist politics and built up the Liberal Democratic Party (centre-right conservative party) into the dominant power it is today. Coincidentally, they were most amenable to a continued U.S. military presence on Japanese soil.

    patton was racist too

    he was anti-semitic as fuck

    I forget exactly what he said about jewish refugees after the war but it was essentially that they were sub-human

    anyway he died before he could cause too much damage in the postwar world so, you know, great

    It certainly works when the solution is "put a bullet through someone". That is an idea our government can always get behind.
